Rubio Says Nuclear Deal with Iran Cannot Be Negotiated in 72 Hours

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the New York Times that a nuclear agreement with Iran cannot be negotiated within 72 hours, emphasizing the complexity of such diplomatic negotiations. His comments came after President Donald Trump announced he had instructed his negotiators not to rush in reaching a deal with Iran. Trump's directive signals a shift toward a more measured approach to nuclear diplomacy with Tehran, which has been a contentious issue in U.S. foreign policy for years. The Iran nuclear program has been a source of international tension, with previous agreements aimed at limiting Tehran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief.
